***** Updated 3-11-2000, KAHI Research, DD and FAQ *****
Hello,
I've been asked by some, to send out an updated FAQ on KAHI. Since many here are new (welcome to our new readers), I decided to comply with the requests.
I will also be sending out later on this weekend, an update to INVT as well as what other things I've found out about FASC. IMHO, after further digging, I see FASC as a long term play as well.
JMHO, FWIW ...

PR to Upcoming Spin Off announcement:

Kaire Holdings Inc. and StasonPharmaceuticals Inc. to Merge Certain Assets in Two New PublicCompanies
February 18, 2000 09:29 AM Eastern Time
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 18, 2000--Kaire Holdings Inc. KAHI , an emerging developer of pure-play Internet initiatives, announced that it has formed a strategic business relationship with Stason Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Stason"), the U.S. affiliate of Taiwan-based Standard Chemical and Pharmaceutical Co. Limited.
Stason is an FDA-approved manufacturer of pharmaceutical drugs as well as various over-the-counter, health-oriented consumer products. Stason also provides certain laboratory services to companies engaged in the research and development of pharmaceutical drugs.
Stason operates from its 37,000-square-foot Irvine, Calif., facility that contains research and development laboratories as well as facilities for testing product stability and filling. The Stason Irvine facility is located near the main UPS Irvine hub.
Under the agreement, Stason will acquire a minority interest in YesRx.com. The terms of the agreement require that Stason pay Kaire an undisclosed sum of cash, and in conjunction with Kaire, build a new state-of-the-art YesRx.com fulfillment center at Stason's facility. YesRx.com will continue to be guided by its current management team from the Kaire corporate headquarters.
Stason will also acquire a majority interest in Kaire's EZ-Trac laboratory division while contributing their similar business. Kaire's laboratory technicians are currently training a team of Stason technicians. That training will be completed in May of this year. At that time the EZ-Trac laboratory will be relocated to a new laboratory at the Stason facility. Stason will assume control of the business at that time.
Upon completion of the YesRx.com fulfillment center and the relocation of the EZ-Trac laboratory business, Kaire will spin-off to its shareholders its YesRx.com e-commerce Internet pharmacy and also its EZ-Trac laboratory business, thereby creating two new public entities. Full details, including the stock distribution, remain to be determined. Kaire and its financial advisors will release that information as soon as it's available.
Kaire CEO Steven Westlund commented: "We are very excited about the relationship with Stason. They are a well-respected company with a global presence and successful track record. This agreement will enable YesRx.com to better serve its customers through economies of scale and efficient high-quality customer service.
"In addition, the combined EZ-Trac and Stason laboratory businesses will provide for expanded services to its customers. Further, the spin-offs allow Kaire to continue executing its business plan as an Internet incubator while simultaneously benefiting current Kaire shareholders."
Westlund added: "The YesRx advertising campaign is scheduled to start on or about February 24, 2000, utilizing network affiliated radio stations. That campaign will begin in the Los Angeles market through a CBS affiliate station. YesRx will make that commercial available for replay at its YesRx.com Web site."

Frank,
Kahi(YesRx) is repotedly 3 months away from profitability, my sources say 60 days.
Co. presidendent (Baum or Westlund, don't remember) has already stated the above and has stated that the YesRx site will net 100K/month in 6 months.
That's 1.2 Million/year with ~60K shares outstanding, or .02 /share.
Remember...Kahi, like all co.'s, must be conservative in revenue projections. So these numbers are definitely conservative.
DSCM and PlanetRX are losing millions. It will be some time before they are profitable.
My GUESS is that YESRX would be an attactive merger for either of the 2.
If things go as planned, my feeling is that YesRx will IPO some time this summer/fall. MY sources say that KAHI will announce the profitability of YESRX w/in 60 days and simultaneously announce an IPO date.
YesRx, a soon-to-be profitable online pharmacy, should IPO at a price of $8-12 /share (No telling how high it will run on the day of the IPO) and remember KAHI will be a profitable.com...
Important in the figuring of the spin-off ratio is 2 major factors:
1. KAHI, probably, wants to earn at least .01 /share.
2. KAHI wants to create as much market cap. as possible.
There are 2 major variables in creating market cap.
A. Total shares
B. Price per share
The important thing KAHI needs to consider(in creating Market Cap.) is the fact that they have little control over the price of the stock other than building an attractive co. An underwriter will not give them more than $8-10 a share.
What they can control is the spin-off ratio and when the stock will split. This is why, I'm told, that the spin-off ratio is going to be a pleasent surprise, and a 1:1 is a definite consideration.
Either way you slice it I know KAHI is desperate to list on the NAX. YesRX is definitly going to the NAX in the very short term. Additionally, management is working very hard at making KAHI more attractive (pre-dividend) in the hopes of breaking the $4 barrier. *By announcing a 1:1 spin-off ratio they are attempting to kill 2 birds with the same stone and I must say I like the plan.
As explained to me, it goes like this:
1st. In a couple of weeks KAHI will announce the spin- off ratio(very favorable).
2nd. Simultaneously, they will announce a dividend date,
say 3 months down the road.
3rd. This will give KAHI enough momentum and interest to
meet NAX requirements and the time necessary to
maintain these requirements.
If things go as planned both KAHI and YESRX will be NAX stocks by Fall. To put it simply, KAHI needs YESRX to help them get listed. YesRX is definitly going. Once they're listed it is extremely difficult to be delisted. So if people lose interest in KAHI once the dividend is paid(and the stock sufferes), it wouldn't matter. Shareholders will be well compensated by the dividends and We would own 2 co.'s on the NAX. Worst case scenario: We still recieve the favorable spin-off ratio and KAHI dosn't meet the NAX requirements. Shareholders will still have a great thing in YesRx and KAHI will continue to build. KAHI will have money to build upon when they release more shares of YesRX(after the IPO) at the inflated IPO prices. What is 10 million shares x's $10 or $20? I think it's enough to continue growth and remain substantially profitable.
To all those with the patience to read this winded post, congratulations! You, probably, have the patience to wait this one out. You're already in a good place, now you sit and wait.
Extravagence redeems!

outstanding KAHI board regulars! (except for a few I won't mention)
(Voluntary Disclosure: Position- Long; ST Rating- Strong Buy; LT Rating- Strong Buy)
ragingbull.com
Top 10 Reasons IMHO, to invest in KAHI (all the below is IMHO, of course):
10)Kaire Holdings employs it's OWN Set of web Programmers.
09)KAHI has Already passed the OTCBB Eligibility Requirements
08)KAHI is a Fully Reporting Company with the SEC, and has been for YEARS, and per the company, was listed on the NASDAQ small caps until 1995.
07)Linda - Head of Customer Service for YesRx.com
06)Mr. Steven Westlund
05)Mr. Mark Baum
04)Dr. David Kazarian
03) netfame.com and any OTHER internet plays not yet know to us yet, that Kaire Holdings has in the works.
02) yesrx.com
and the number 1 reason to invest in KAHI (drum roll please):
Because you did your OWN research and DD on Kaire Holdings and all it stands for and You YOURSELF can see a future for it (Kaire Holdings)! This way no matter if the KAHI stock price is UP, or the stock price is down, since you did your 'homework' it won't IMHO, phase you, and you can 'tough it out' 'bad times' and good!
Note: Read recent about new OTCBB Rules for Market Makers below:
NASD Board Approves Limit Order Pilot Protection Program For the OTC Bulletin Board ....
Read below for full details:
ragingbull.com
and also the PR here:
prnewswire.com
also note, guess where KAHI is? Yep, in the TOP 100 traded of OTCBB stocks, they were the 27th most traded, and that was in January!
See here for that:
otcbb.com
As always, be sure to do our own DD and Research, and then decide for yourself. Remember, KAHI is still an OTCBB stock, and as such, is IMHO, still a risky venture.
Should after completing your OWN DD and Research, you find you are still interested, and decide to buy this companies stock, then IMHO, you should ONLY invest not only what you are ABLE to lose completely, but ALSO what you are WILLING to completely lose.
